‘Clergy’ gather to bless DC area late-term abortion clinic

On the same day the United States Senate took up a bill that would have banned abortions for unborn infants who had reached the 20th week of development, a group of clergy gathered to pray for and bless the work of an abortion clinic in the DC area dedicated to killing those very same infants.

The Washington Post reports on the Christian and Jewish faith leaders who went out of their way to endorse, in the name of God, the clinic and it’s practice of performing late-term abortions.

Yet that was the Rev. Carlton Veazey’s task as he led a prayer in Bethesda on Monday. “God of grace and God of glory, in whom we move and live,” he said, as he opened a prayer for the well-being of the doctor and nurses who facilitate abortions at a clinic here and for their patients. “Keep them safe and keep them strong. And may they always know that all that they do is for Thy glory.”

Veazey was one of four Christian pastors and one rabbi who gathered to bless this Bethesda abortion clinic in an unusual interfaith ceremony. (A Hindu priest who was supposed to attend from a local temple, who has blessed an abortion clinic before, didn’t make it.)

The prayer service, held just about 8 miles from the White House, included Dr. LeRoy Carhart, the abortionist who has performed late-term abortions in Maryland for years.

Many women who seek abortions are people of faith who pray about their decision, the clergy said. LeRoy Carhart, the doctor at this clinic, said he hears many of those prayers. “They’ll sit on the table and say, ‘Is God going to forgive me?’ I’ll say, ‘I take it you’ve prayed a lot about this.’ They all say yes.”

Carhart, a Nebraska doctor, operated a clinic in Germantown until the owners of the property sold it to an anti-abortion group, Maryland Coalition for Life, which had operated a nearby crisis pregnancy center to talk women out of abortion. He found this Bethesda location as a replacement, and offers the same rare service there that he provided in Germantown — late-term abortions that are outlawed in many states and available in only a few locations in the country.

Framing the topic of abortion from a religious perspective is generally the dominion of pro-life activists so the Post went to great pains to frame the report on the clergy’s prayer service around the religiosity of the abortionist. The article points out Carhart’s deep faith and how he had to stop attending services at his local Methodist church out of safety concerns.

But, don’t worry, the abortionist still keeps his faith even though he doesn’t attend regular services. In fact, he thinks his abortion practice is it’s own kind of ministry:

Even without church, he feels he is living out his faith by helping women through what is often the worst time of their lives — the illness or other devastating circumstance that leads them to his office.

“I think in itself, that’s religious,” he said. Most days, though, he doesn’t have a clinic full of clergy in their vestments to back up his viewpoint.

Perhaps Dr. Carhart should get back to the pews and re-examine exactly who he is serving with his bloody practice.

As for the souls of those in charge of the Washington Post, a cursory search of the paper’s site shows that this is the only article written about Carhart since he has moved his practice to Bethesda in October. This despite the fact that pro-life protesters have gathered in front of the clinic almost daily to pray for the unborn and the pregnant mothers since the practice opened for business.

Apparently for the Post, it’s only news when prayers are offered up for the abortionist and his work.

None of these clergymen speak for my God. They are false prophets when they claim to speak on behalf of God. There is a special punishment for that.

The real God demands blood for blood. He who spills innocent blood must have his own blood spilled. The blood of the dead cries out to God, begging for vengeance upon their murderers.

Also consider Balaam the prophet of Moab. His king saw the approaching Israelites and tried to bribe Balaam to curse them in God’s name. God told Balaam there is no charm or curse that would work against these people, and Balaam had to bless them instead. If God blesses someone they are blessed. If God curses someone, they are cursed. The Man of God (real like Balaam or fake like these clergy) won’t cause God to contradict Himself. Planned Parenthood is accursed, despite what these sell-outs say or pray.

Planned Parenthood has the worst of all murderers, as they kill the most innocent babies.

Jude 1:11
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

This is why I think religion and talk of God should be avoided by those making a pro-life argument. As more people become less religious, this is seen more as a philosophical debate between different branches of Christianity and it’s Biblical interpretations and less a matter of life and death.

Correct. Murder is murder so why interject religion into it if you want to end it. It’s about whose mind you are trying to change. As an atheist, when I was much younger all of the anti-abortion talk was wrapped into a religious talk. It was easy to shut out and ignore and dismiss as religious bs. It wasn’t until I read a pro-life book without any religious arguments in it the I changed my opinion on it. If someone believes in God then go ahead and use religion, if they don’t or are not well versed in the different types of Christians you will probably be ignored and they are usually the most pro-abortion.

Note: “Reverend Carlton W. Veasley, president and CEO, religious coalition for reproductive choice.”Liberal Democrats worship only themselves, so if they are their own god, they can call themselves anything they want in their own cult.

Veazly rhymes with sleazy. Pray for these people. Obviously, they know not what they do. So Darby thinks that all that religious stuff is BS. Why is murder wrong Darby? Where did you get that from? Did you just come up with that on your own? Or was that part of our basic moral instruction set we just “know”? What we should really be concerned about is the fact that some people claiming to be “clergy” bless something that if the society forced those abortions in the black community, it would be called genocide. In New York a black fetus has only a 38 percent chance of being born. Not only is that against God’s will, that is against everything we internally know is right.

Just trying to make the point that not everyone believes what you do and you might have better results adjusting the message for the audience.
One group of clergy say it’s OK and will even pray with the women. Another says it’s wrong. Why have to try to prove why your interpretation is correct and the others isn’t. Add to that the fact that people don’t want someone else’s religious beliefs dictated to them.

Canada is the worst in the West. It has NO abortion law because its left wing Supreme Court erased the law in place saying Parliament should re-write it and gutless politicians on both the left and right have been afraid to propose ANY restrictions on abortion.

It will be a tragic day when the spirits of these murdered children are standing in front of these clergymen (who, btw, are NOT Christian!) and abortionists and their mothers and fathers, and await the dispensing of judgement by God Almighty. Then they’ll finally understand what they have done.

True — none of the Irreverends can possibly be born-again, and the one not-even-namesake (Hindu priest who missed this atrocious ceremony) should check his own mythology (specifically the tales of Prahlada and Ashtavakra)….
